Lab 9.3.3 Designing An IP Subnetting Scheme For Growth: Objectives
Objectives
• Analyze the subnetting requirements for a small company with multiple networks.
• Design a subnetting scheme that allows for 20% growth in the number of subnets and the number of
hosts per subnet.
• Develop an IP addressing plan to apply addresses to networking devices and host computers.
Background / Preparation
When developing IP addressing schemes for subnetting, it is important to look at the subnet requirements of
the network and plan for potential growth in the number of subnets and the number of hosts per subnet.
In this lab, you are given a block of addresses to work with. Based on the network requirements of the
organization, subnet the block of addresses and allocate a subnet to each segment of the network. In the
subnet scheme, you must allow for 20% growth in the number of subnets and in the number of hosts for a
given subnet. After you have created the subnets, assign IP addresses to each of the router interfaces and
allocate blocks of addresses for the hosts on each LAN.
This is a paper-based lab. Use the worksheets to complete the lab.

Task 4: Reflection
a. With the initial block of addresses assigned by the ISP, and the requirements for future growth, is
there any other subnetting scheme that could have worked? __________
b. If the maximum number of hosts per network segment was only 14, could you have used another
scheme? ____ Why? _________________________________________________________

c. Although it works for the scenario in item b above, would it be a good idea to use 4 bits for subnets
and 4 bits for hosts? _____ Why?
